Talk Show announce their debut album, Effigy
South London band Talk Show have announced their debut album, Effigy. Accompanying this, they have released the brand new single, "Gold".
"Gold" is the second track to be revealed from Talk Show's debut album, Effigy, following the release of "Closer" in September. The forthcoming album has been produced by Remi Kabaka Jr. (Gorillaz).
“The first song we wrote for the album was "Gold", and it was finished in about two days. We had this great momentum from being in the studio recording the last EP and just focused on keeping the energy," explains frontman Harrison Swann. "We started with an underlying, pulsing bass, and I just started mumbling words and lines over top. “Gold coins at the bottom of my pocket” just kinda fell out. The whole verse then came really quickly and set the path of where we had to go. It’s weird we just knew we had something special straight away. It had a climatic feel, with feelings of frustration and turmoil, mixed with tensions and release. We looked at early The Prodigy and those songs with that type of energy and that helped form the rest of the track."
Tracklist:
- Gold
- Oh! You're! All! Mine!
- Red/White
- Closer
- Oil at the Bottom of a Drum
- Got Sold
- Panic

- Catalonia
